Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Star Wars couldn't have asked for a more foreboding cabal of villains than the dreaded Sith Lords, many of whom vary in power in both Legends and canon. These nefarious individuals wield the immense power of the dark side of the Force, in direct antithesis to their Jedi competitors.
24 Marka Ragnos The first Sith Empire had many legends, and one of its most fearsome was the dreaded Marka Ragnos. This dark side practitioner was one of the most infamous Sith Lords, helping to forge the direction of the Sith movement as the centuries rolled on. He's one of the most fabled figures in Sith lore and was said to be even more powerful than the wisest and most skilled Jedi.
Despite this, Kylo Ren was not technically a Sith, though it could be argued that his manipulation by Darth Sidious put him in the same category. Ren’s power with the dark side of the Force could easily see him ranked as a Sith Lord, without ever officially earning the title. His apprenticeship of Snoke - and therefore Sidious - certainly positions him as a Sith apprentice as part of Star Wars' Sith Rule of Two.
20 Darth Maul Darth Maul represents the epitome of elite Sith physical training, tied directly into the dark side of the Force. Raised from a young age by Darth Sidious, Maul was forged in the fires of hatred and destruction, becoming a living weapon with a frightening degree of power. As a Sith Lord, Maul worked clandestinely from the shadows to undermine his master's opponents and pave the way for his Order's ascension.
18 Freedon Nadd One of the key figures in Old Republic lore, Freedon Nadd was Exar Kun’s master and a major player in the galaxy for generations after his physical death. He ruled Onderon for a hundred years after subjugating the world, but his true power extended far beyond. Originally a member of the Jedi Order, Nadd abandoned their teachings and went on to lay the groundwork for the Sith's ascension.
Darth Sidious capitalized on this desire to turn Dooku to the dark side, and Darth Tyranus was born. He mistakenly believed that he could bring the galaxy together by doing away with galactic corruption, but in truth, he was just a pawn for Sidious to assume absolute power and crown himself Emperor of a new Galactic Empire.
13 Darth Nihilus Few Sith were as haunting and terrifying as Darth Nihilus, a Sith Lord who was almost an apparition, rather than a man. He barely spoke, preferring instead to communicate through the Force, which made him almost impossible to reason with. He was also monstrously powerful and capable of incredible feats of dark side prowess.
Jacen Solo, and therefore Darth Caedus, was first introduced in Heir to the Empire, the first book in Timothy Zahn’s Thrawn trilogy. This trilogy outlined a sequel story to Lucas’ original trilogy that was made Legends by Disney. Since then, Jacen Solo inspired the character of Ben Solo from the canon Star Wars sequels.
Vader could tap into his own hatred in a way that not many Sith ever managed, and few who stood against him lived to tell the tale. Despite lacking the mobility and health of his former body, Vader was capable of razing entire structures to the ground with relative ease. Vader ranks among the most powerful Sith Lords in Star Wars canon, first appearing in A New Hope. His backstory as Anakin was explored in Lucas’ prequels, leading Vader to become one of the most iconic film villains of all time.
